R35 GTR Brakes onto at R34 GTR. Who's done it?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade the factory 34 GTR brakes.  Currently i'm looking at fitting a full set of R35 brakes and i wanted to know;

*If anyone on SAU has done it?

*Did they have issues with the brake bias between the front and rear and if so how was it solved?

*Is any modification required to make factory handbrake work with the R35 brakes?

*Who did they get they get to make the mounting brackets (preferably in NSW)?

 

thanks in advance.

I haven't done it but know that there are no issues with brake bias (even on track duties) since you already have the BM-57 Brake master Cylinder on the R34..

You may have to modify the backing plate on the rear that i've highlighted in the attached picture.. Otherwise you won't be able to physically fit the larger rear disc..

The rear handbrake issue is solved in 2 ways depending on which kit you buy and from who...

One is the rear rings that are press fitted into the rear of the bell10666034_818413308189102_5230253162384342326_n.jpg

 

The other option is to have the complete rear bell which are normally sold as part of the adaptor kit.. (Old picture) But you get the idea..

I have done the kit on my s3 R33 Gtr and I also have a spare set of billet adaptors to suit, no problems with brake bias and don't need to upgrade the master, backing plates need to be cut to suit to fit bigger caliper.

Can you provide us with some brake porn sir?

Will the conversion fit behind the oem r34 wheels?

 

no, there are only a few wheel options that will work with 18s and they are the volk racing or rays gtc, ze40, te37s.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
